The Reds, who recorded a 5-4 victory over Norwich yesterday afternoon, have been locked in negotiations to sign the 26-year-old for the last week.

The Merseysiders have had a £24m bid for the Brazilian rejected by the Ukrainians - who have slapped a £38m price-tag on the midfielder's head.

But according to reports, the five-time European Cup winners have made a breakthrough in their pursuit to sign the former Vasco da Gama star.

“FutbolUkraine claim that Teixeira has agreed personal terms with Reds and the only thing holding the transfer back is Shakhtar's determination to receive £38m for their prized asset”

FutbolUkraine claim that Teixeira, who has bagged 26 goals in 25 appearances this season, has agreed personal terms with Reds and the only thing holding the transfer back is Shakhtar's determination to receive £38m for their prized asset - who is also a target for reigning Premier League champions Chelsea.

Kop chief Jurgen Klopp is said to be desperate to snap up Teixeira, who moved to the Donbass Arena in the summer of 2010, but doesn't want to be held to ransom by Shakhtar.

He said: "We have money, but we are not in Disneyland and can say, 'Come on, take what you want'. We have a budget, we work with it.

"We have a lot of things to do; the club is building a stand, this is for the long-term development of the club.

"I know I can handle pressure really good. Now we have a situation where we think 'What will help?'"
